4" Radius Blocks Essential Set, Set of 5

About This Item

Save money with this set! Our 5 most popular sanding blocks for spot-leveling frets and fingerboards. Just add sandpaper. They make great fret-gluing cauls, too!

Create an accurate radius quickly and without guesswork.
We make these hardwood blocks for use with Stikit Abrasives, to radius a fretboard quickly, accurately and without guesswork.

Shaping fingerboards: use 80 through 220-gritLeveling frets: use 220 through 400-grit

Set includes the 5 most popular fretboard radii used in guitar building and repair:
7.25", 9.5", 10", 12", 16"

When working on compound radius fretboards, simply change blocks as you progress along the neck.

These 4" blocks are used for spot leveling, and can also be used as a radiused clamping caul when gluing frets. The longer 8" blocks are better for consistent, full-fingerboard radius leveling.

Dimensions: 4" (101.60mm) long x 2-3/4" (69.85mm) wide

What's your radius?
Quickly find the curvature of a fingerboard or bridge with a set of radius gauges. Use them frequently to check your work as you smooth or shape a fingerboard or frets: a quick visual check keeps you from accidentally altering the shape—a mistake that's easy to make and hard to fix.

Radius Roundup

I bought these to level the poor fret job on a Brand New Blueridge BR 163 a that I bought sight unseen over the internet . I KNOW better , but , it looked SO GOOD in the pictures ! StewMac to the rescue ! Frets leveled , crowned , polished , now it's as it should have been to begin with ! The radius blocks also made getting the curve on the new saddle and nut I had to make a " cake walk " ! The right tool for the right job !

Great product.

Great Tool

I picked up the set of 5. Well worth the money. It saves a ton of time with great results. I should have picked them up a long time ago. I've only had them a few weeks, but have done 4 fret jobs, that I've been putting off by the way, and they worked GREAT. If you don't have them...Get 'em, you'll thank yourself later.

Useful and ocnvenient...

These are good quality sanding blocks. You can make your own, of course, but for the price of these it's not really worth the time it would take to get the curve exactly right. My only mild complaint is that the set does not include the 14" radius, which arguably is one of the most commonly used on all sorts of guitars.
